I know... I am almost thinking I should just leave them after all the hassle. Save my money for another Chanel bag. Because Chanel bags never disappointUgh I hate it when you have to pay for returns

Haha so true! When in doubt Chanel

I would love those too! I love the small splash of color and almost invisible shoe. The ones in a nude suede are fantastic too.
But I am a bit worried that the Plexi is a fashion item rather than a classic shoe I can wear for years (at least as long as the shoe will last) at any age.
What do you ladies think of the Plexi in terms of being a classic piece that will still be ok to wear in 5-10 years?
How about sizing? I am 35.5 in So Kate, can I safely take the same size in GR Plexi or better go for 36 because the pvc material does not stretch at all? But I should add I have narrow feet and I think GR makes his shoes not as narrow (not wide either of course) as Louboutin does, so my first thought is to stick with 35.5.
It's interesting that people have different experiences on the size, as I found my Plexi heels true to size (in patent leather). They are quite comfortable for their height (I measured them manually, they're a bit higher than 100mm, mine are about 105mm). My plexis fit me perfectly, I'm a true IT size 35 for everything lol (Valentino, Saint Laurent, Charlotte Olympia) except for US 4.5 (width B-C) for Ferragamo. I don't have any Loubies because there's no store in my country (NZ).
Maybe my feet are on the narrow side compared to most ladies here.
I think plexis can be classics, depending on the leather texture and colour combination you choose. They've got beautiful silhouette, and help amazingly elongate the legs.
Omg I never thought I would see another fellow New Zealander in here!
May I ask where do you usually get your Gianvito Rossi shoes? I don't think there are any stores in Christchurch that carry them and I had to order them online. I am an NZ size 8, and I bought mine in 39 and they were way too small on me.
Heyyyy @eeeeva_leong76 ! Same here, haha, you would probably understand my frustration with the limited access to designer stores here! It's particularly tricky with shoes eh, as we don't get to try them on. However, there's a David Jones opening soon in Wellington (where I'm based), which hopefully will offer some more designers. I saw on DJ Australian website that they have Saint Laurent and Valentino. We'll see.
As for my GR, I got them from Farfetch earlier this year as part of a sale, I must've had a discount code or a free delivery offer at that time. However be warned that there will be custom duties payable (DHL doesn't let us get away with that). I had to pay for my 2 orders shipped in 1 week. ouch!
Hope that helps

Haha totally, the lengths we have to go to get some decent shoes is crazy! And the duties!!! I got mine from Harrods, they were having a sale just last month and I got them for 30% off but had to return them because they didn't fit. I would recommend you trying Harrods next time
The order goes through Borderfree, which would have the duties and taxes prepaid, and minus VAT, so I guess that's fair. I believe I lost around NZ$75 just for returning though, because I had to pay for return shipping. Haha totally, the lengths we have to go to get some decent shoes is crazy! And the duties!!!

Ohh I haven't shopped online on Harrods yet, thanks, I'll give it a try
I've shopped on Net-a-porter before and they're excellent as well, they used Borderfree as well from memory, which is just hassle free. Maybe GR wasn't on NAP, which is why i went for Farfetch (half knowing I would have to pay duties - still, I don't like costly surprises haha). Nordstrom is good too, and so is Shopbop (I bought Ferragamo shoes on Shopbop recently this year and they're great). Aw so you decided to refund instead of exchange eh..I saw your photo, mine's exactly the same colour, except they're fully patent - instead of suede.
Hope this can help someone. I just got my first pair of Gianvito Rossis from Net-a-Porter, they are the Plexi slingback pump. NAP recommended going up a full size for them, since they fit small, I went up half a size from my usual 36 in Jimmy Choo, Salvatore Ferragamo, Saint Laurent, Charlotte Olympia, and they worked out well. 36 in theese would have been too small.

Yup, unfortunately Harrods told me they would not allow for exchange when it comes to international orders... double whammy! I basically took my money and bought a Chanel bag instead... my rebound bag! Haha...I can't seem to find the exact pair in my size anywhere else online so I think I'll just hold off buying until I see it in a colour combination that I like. I was originally hoping for a gray + black suede like Chase Amie's on Youtube. I guess I'll just have to wait.
Im sure you'll find the perfect ones one day
Grey sounds lovely
and i watch Chase Amie's channel too.Chanel bag is definitely an in no way less exciting bag than the shoes!!!

If you were hoping for another color anyway than it is much better to return these and wait until you find the right pair!
And yay for Amie's channel, I watch it too![emoji1][emoji106]
